If your area has led lights which most uk counties are rolling out won’t the cls filter be as much use as a chocolate tea pot , if you haven’t then it maybe beneficial but for how long , the idas D2 is the only one I know of that works for led (I have one on order wether it works yet to be seen )

Deepskydad autofocuser for the 130pds now fitted,xmas money wisely spent
-
Great that has saved me a job how much did you extend the stop by I’m assuming about 6mm
-
I wasn’t sure if doing that the camera would reach focus , I assume it does then ?
-
lol yeah that was me , I got another draw tube but not smooth enough, I think I may have sorted it I only need 8mm may have enough on replacement tube to knock a bit of end .
-
(NOW RESOLVED HOPEFULLY)Help required I’m after the offcut that gets cut off of the end of the draw-tube ,i inherited a 130pds but too much was cut off literally 6mm too much ,looking to have offcut tac welded back on to stop focuser slipping off draw tube rollers, so if anyone can help, pm me please.
-
Be careful I think 15mm is the max or else the end of focus tube will slip off the two rollers before it hits the stop , I inherited a 130pds when I bought my 200pds it had I think 20mm cut off and would slip off , best double check ?

I was an infrequent user so probably missed it ?

Yes there was a lot of info you could trawl through and read , that’s not how FB works sadly , never had an email to say it was closing though .
-

Thanks , shame ,i don't do facebook ?

Would a stellarmate do what you need it to ? Not to be confused with Stella artois ?
-
Ideally yes , you need to be within 5 arc minutes I think it is , once you are then the image will solve and you will see the yellow circles then you know your on the right path

Try fitting a pc fan to the back of the primary blowing air up ota.

I know someone with a brand spanking new az gti , had problem with it jumping , strip it and there was a lump of swarf in the gearing and one of the axis had no grease at all on it , luckily he is more than competent to be able to sort it .
-
You just need to have the laser spin evenly around the polo mark so irrelevant how far the laser is out of collimation .
-
Spin the laser in the focuser so the red laser spins around the polo mark on the mirror then adjust secondary so laser spins evenly around polo mark , does it that make sense
